Not back row but pertinent to the subject if Kelly goes as seems likely I'd love to see Fonua return play centre and move Connor to Stand off.

That would be a good outcome Marcus, just having Mahe back, but I suspect he’ll stay awhile in Australia. And can’t see Albi attracting much attention from the NRL with his present shall we say rotundnuss, if that’s even a word.

Don't get all this Josh Jones talk, to me he is bang average & not an upgrade on either of the current incumbents, at their best.

Now Kenny Edwards does offer much more but didn't he get bounced from the Eels for bad behaviour ??

That was the point al283, at their best for us they were superb, can, and will, AP invest in this kind of quality again

It is a word and you are right about it as I see it.

Savelio doesn't look a good signing to me, not big enpugh for second row, built more like a centre.

… apart from being heavier and taller than mini and manu, you could be right.

He doesn't look it in the HDM article, I stand corrected if that is the case.

Wayne Bennett seems to have been a good judge of players in the past. Taking Savelio to Oz as a second row appears to be enough recommendation to me. He’s back here because of salary cap issues over there. Smart bit of work by FC if you ask me.

So he is a poor signing because there was a picture of him in the HDM and you thought he didn't look very big in it?
